[2.0.55] Signal wires moving around when deconstructing poles

Post by Patriot »

When (green or red) signal wires are connecting entities through power poles, the entities will try to preserve their connection to each other by forming new connections that did not exist before. A visual example:

This also happens when bots deconstruct the pole(s).

A bug secondary to this, is that "Undo" doesn't actually undo this part of the deconstruction, leading to doubled up connections.

Electric pole wires being rewired to keep connections is intended feature. Second part is a duplicate of 118468.

I was afraid of that, any chance I'd be able to disable that behavior (through mods, for example)?
